About this routine

The Gino Wickman same page meeting is a monthly alignment framework designed for business partners, visionaries, and integrators. Developed as part of the Entrepreneurial Operating System, this structured session prevents founder misalignment before small disagreements compound into organizational friction.

The process begins with an open personal check in, followed by a review of high level company strategy. Partners then move into the core phase called Identify, Discuss, and Solve, where every point of contention is systematically unpacked until complete consensus is reached.

By dedicating 90 minutes each month to transparent dialogue, leadership teams protect their culture and maintain operational momentum. You can run this session using a routine timer online to keep each phase focused and on schedule.

Why this routine works

Eliminates leadership misalignment between business partners
Provides a structured framework to solve tough operational conflicts
Keeps long term business goals synchronized across executive leadership
